14.4GB/hr doesnt sound right... Does anyone have correct calcuation for video rate at 512kbps?
This was already posted few hours ago. Look for that thread.

damn! GSM guy beat CDMA guy.
That's nothing.
Verizon now is 5GB/month and overrage is $0.49/1mb. If you use 6gb you pay for 1Gb overage $490!
Wait a Min... I am very Lost!!!
Do Comcast confirm to charge it or not yet?
I'm a Comcast user since 2001 and never have any trouble with them. I pay $42 a month flat since and now I'm on 6mbps download. They have done the free upgrades before, when I first opened it was low as 2mbps (I think). I don't download large bandwith that often. I don't use VP everyday, averaging about twice a week and most of the time it's a short call.
The internet speed on my Mac is killer! thanks to unix program (Mac is part of unix) that makes download faster. When I have software updates from Apple, the 50+mb file download only takes less than a minute
Not yet.. They are considering it.. See other article: Comcast Considering 250GB Cap, Overage Fees - Insider provides details of new 'protocol agnostic' solution - dslreports.com
Other broadband companies already did this and I wouldn't be suprised if Comcast and others follows.
I havent heard about EVDO overusage by Verizon.. I know they are "terminating" customer EVDO account if they go over 5GB per month few times..
ALLTEL doesnt have that limit (so far...)
All good things must comes to end.. Nothing last forever on unlimited..
If that happens, everybody will be going back to dial-up
Not really, if happens then more consumers will switch to DSL or other cable than Comcast.
Unforunately, not everyone would have that choice.. Some apartment building or condos have exclusive rights to cable company.. No DSL crap.. I live in very nice apartment place which exclusive with Cox cable for TV and phone.. But forunately, I can get DSL/phone from else where, but would be very expensive to install.
Some small town only one provider..
